This application claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application 61/876,099 filed Sep. 10, 2013, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention is directed to compounds, their synthesis, and their use as antagonists, inverse agonists, modulators and or inhibitors of the Retinoic acid-related Orphan nuclear Receptor γt (RORγt)/RORγ. In particular, the present invention is directed to substituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one compounds that modulate (RORγt)/RORγ. The compounds of the present invention are useful for modulating (RORγt)/RORγ activity and for treating diseases or conditions mediated by (RORγt)/RORγ such as, for example, disease states associated with immunopathology of human autoimmune diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Inflammatory Colitis, Psoriasis, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Pain, Obesity, Diabetes, Dyslipidemia, Osteoporosis, Asthma, Neurodegenerative diseases and Cancer.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disease of the CNS (central nervous system) that damages the fatty myelin sheaths around the axons of the brain and spinal cord. This damage, destruction, and loss or scarring of the myelin sheaths (sclerosis or plaques) results in a broad spectrum of symptoms. MS is a chronic, disabling disease that affects about 400,000 people in the United States and nearly 2.5 million people worldwide. MS substantially and adversely affects the quality of life of each individual, with symptoms that include loss of muscle control and strength, fatigue, weakness, loss of vision, spasticity, balance, sensation, bladder and bowel problems, numbness, vision loss, tremors, and adverse mental function such as depression. In the United States alone MS care is estimated to cost nearly $13 billion per year.
Inflammatory cytokines and its receptors have an important role in the progression of MS lesions, and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels have been found to correlate with changes in MS disease activity. Currently, available treatments usually focus on strategies to treat relapses (oral prednisone and i.v. methylprednisolone), manage symptoms and reduce the progress of the disease with Disease Modifying Drugs (DMDs). It includes relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) drugs such as Immunomodulatory (β-interferons) therapeutics (Avonex, Betaseron, Rebif and Extavia), Monoclonal Antibodies (Tysabri, Lemtrada), other immunosuppressants (Mitoxantrone), Copaxone (glatiramer acetate injection) and oral agents; Teriflunomide, Fingolimod but none of these medications is a cure or prevent recurring symptoms. In addition to existing oral DMDs such as Fingolimod, and recently approved Tecfidera (BG-12 or Dimethyl Fumarate) and other experimental agents yet to be approved are in Phase III of clinical development such as Laquinimod, and Masitinib (oral immunomodulators) have been reported to cause opportunistic infections, antibody stimulation, liver and kidney toxicities. Target specific inhibitors or antagonists should promote myelination, neuronal repair, neuroprotection Inhibiting the disease and halting neurodegeneration should eliminate many of these adverse events.
Presently, oral DMT drugs such as Fingolimod, Cladribine, and Tecfidera—as well as about 46 other experimental agents in various stages of clinical development such as Laquinimode, and Masitinib—have been reported to cause serious adverse events including opportunistic infections, antibody stimulation, and liver and kidney toxicities. Thus, there is a continuing need for effective MS drugs with better toxicity profiles. Target specific inhibitors or antagonists should promote myelination, neuronal repair, halting neurodegeneration, and should eliminate many of these adverse events.
The evidence supporting the risk-benefit profiles for available agents including emerging mAb (Alemtuzumab, Ocrelizumab and Daclizumab) DMTs is yet to fully emerge. Many of these approved and experimental agents yet to be approved create serious adverse events including opportunistic infections, antibody stimulation, and liver and kidney toxicities. Therefore, MS is still a significant target for innovative therapies that can have immunotherapeutic and/or neuroprotective effects on the disease. This opportunity has strengthened our research focus on clinically relevant RORγt, as an attractive target for the treatment of MS. RORγt as a nuclear hormone receptor that is a key regulator of T helper type 17 (Th17) cell differentiation. Th17 cells are normally produced in response to infection, but have been linked to the development of autoimmune diseases. A few pre-clinical stage lead RORγt and RORγ inverse agonists have been reported. For example, azole-type fungicides, T0901317, SR1001, ursolic acid, VPR-66, digoxin, and hexafluoro-substituted sulphamoyl thiazoles had efficacy in autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice models. At least dozen companies; Lycera/Merck, Karo Bio/Pfizer, Phenex/J&J, Orphagen/JT (OR-1050/T0901317, 5 μM), Tempero/GSK (TMP-778, GSK-805), Exelixis/BMS, Teijin/Amgen, Cognoci (COG112), Innovimmune (INV-17), Visionary, 4SC Discovery and Genentech, have small molecule RORγt programs in preclinical stage of development. Identification of brain penetrant, RORγt specific antagonists that rescue myelin destruction, restore the axons of the brain and spinal cord following oral administration will be a significant approach for developing MS therapeutics. The substituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one class of compounds claimed in Formula I discovered as potent, brain penetrant, orally available RORγt antagonist, and a small molecule candidate compounds as new drug entities for the treatment of such diseases claimed.
The present invention includes small molecule antagonists targeting Retinoic acid-related orphan nuclear receptor γt (RORγt)/RORγ. RORγt is the key transcription factor and is the master regulator of human Th17 (T helper 17) cells, a unique subset of CD4+T cells. RORγt controls cellular differentiation, function and InterleukinIL-17 (IL-17 producing T-helper lymphocytes) release by Th17 cells and helps mediate the immunopathology of human autoimmune diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Inflammatory Colitis, Psoriasis, COPD, Pain, Obesity, Diabetes, Dyslipidemia, Osteoporosis, Asthma, Neurodegenerative diseases and Cancer.
In addition, the substituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one Retinoic acid-related orphan nuclear receptor γt (RORγt)/RORγ antagonists of the present invention may be useful in the treatment of multiple cancers, includes gastric, colon cancers, chronic myelogenic leukemia (CML), acute myelogenic leukemia (AML), squamous cell, and bladder carcinomas, medulloblastoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, multiple myeloma, bladder, glioblastoma multiform (GBM), breast and ovarian cancers, Ewing's sarcoma and bone associated cancer diseases. The methods of treatment of the claims of Formula I and its associated claims in the application comprise of administering a safe and effective dose of a compounds according to Formula I or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt, formulations thereof to a human patients.
Induction of autoimmune MS conditions in mice using Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) or Proteolipid Protein (PLP) immunization causes RORγt activation and differentiation of Th17 cells that recruit proinflammatory cytokines IL-17A (IL-17), IL-17F, IL-21 and IL-22 leads to sclerotic myelin and damaged oligodendrocytes. Mice with RORγt deficient T cells have attenuated disease and lack tissue-infiltrating Th17 cells. Hence, RORγt is a key regulator of immune homeostasis and is a potential therapeutic target for Multiple Sclerosis. Using proprietary internal company proprietary Fragment-Field Drug Design (FFDD) based technology and uniquely designed specific RORγt isoform assays a novel, potent small molecule substituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one series and are specific RORγt antagonist (inverse agonist) and demonstrated its RORγt activity in an RORγt-activated IL-17A Prom/LUCPorter assay in HEK 293 cells, in IL-17 release from CD4+T cells assays, as well as inhibition of IL-17 production in vivo in BALB/c mouse experiments and the effect of substituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one series of Formula I compounds on MOG35-55 induced in C57/BL6 or BALB/c mice, PLP139-451 (Proteolipid Protein) induced in SJL/J mice and Theiler's Murine Encephalitis Virus-Induced Demyelinating Disease (TMEV-IDD) in female BALB/c mice induced Acute/Relapsing EAE model in female SJL/J mice is claimed in this application.
The present invention concerns compounds active on Nuclear hormone receptor superfamily, specifically RORγt and in general, including RORα, -β, and -γ (NR1F1-3 or RORA-C), its two isoforms, γ1 and γ2 (RORγt/ROR-γT) and any mutations of this Nuclear hormone receptor superfamily and the use thereof in treating disease and conditions associated with regulation of the activity of these Nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. More specifically the invention concerns compounds of Formula I as described below. Thus the invention provides novel use of compounds for therapeutic methods involving inhibition and or modulation of RORα, -β, and -γ specifically RORγt as novel compounds that can be used for the therapeutic methods involving modulation of the immunopathology of human autoimmune diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Inflammatory Colitis, Psoriasis, COPD, Pain, Obesity, Diabetes, Dyslipidemia, Osteoporosis, Asthma, Neurodegenerative diseases and Cancer.

Compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “isomers”. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers”. Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed “diastereomers” and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed “enantiomers”. When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups; a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog (Cahn, R., Ingold, C., and Prelog, V. Angew. Chem. 78:413-47, 1966; Angew. Chem. Internat. Ed. Eng. 5:385-415, 511, 1966), or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (−)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture”.
The compounds of this invention may possess one or more asymmetric centers; such compounds can therefore be produced as individual (R)- or (S)-stereoisomers or as mixtures thereof. Unless indicated otherwise, the description or naming of a particular compound in the specification and claims is intended to include both individual enantiomers and mixtures, racemic or otherwise, thereof. The methods for the determination of stereochemistry and the separation of stereoisomers are well-known in the art (see discussion in Ch. 4 of A
The compounds of the present invention may exhibit the phenomena of tautomerism and structural isomerism. This invention encompasses any tautomeric or structural isomeric form and mixtures thereof which possess the ability to modulate (RORγt)/RORγ activity and is not limited to, any one tautomeric or structural isomeric form.
It is contemplated that a compound of the present invention would be metabolized by enzymes in the body of the organism such as human being to generate a metabolite that can modulate the activity of the protein kinases. Such metabolites are within the scope of the present invention.
A compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can be administered as such to a human patient or can be administered in pharmaceutical compositions in which the foregoing materials are mixed with suitable carriers or excipient(s). Techniques for formulation and administration of drugs may be found, for example, in R
A “pharmaceutical composition” refers to a mixture of one or more of the compounds described herein or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof, with other chemical components, such as pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The purpose of a pharmaceutical composition is to facilitate administration of a compound to an organism.

Such salts may include: (1) acid addition salt which is obtained by reaction of the free base of the parent compound with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid and the like, or with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, (D)- or (L)-malic acid, maleic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid or malonic acid and the like, preferably hydrochloric acid or (L)-malic acid; or (2) salts formed when an acidic proton present in the parent compound either is replaced by a metal ion, e.g., an alkali metal ion, an alkaline earth ion, or an aluminum ion; or coordinates with an organic base such as ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, tromethamine, N-methylglucamine, and the like.
The compound of the present invention may also act, or be designed to act, as a prodrug. A “prodrug” refers to an agent, which is converted into the parent drug in vivo. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the parent drug. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent drug is not. The prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. An example, without limitation, of a prodrug would be a compound of the present invention, which is, administered as an ester (the “prodrug”), phosphate, amide, carbamate, or urea.
“Therapeutically effective amount” refers to that amount of the compound being administered which will relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms of the disorder being treated. In reference to the treatment of MS, a therapeutically effective amount refers to that amount which has the effect of: (1) ameliorating loss of muscle control and strength, (2) lessoning fatigue or weakness, (3) stabilizing loss of vision, (4) decreasing spasticity, (5) increased balance, (6) lessoning bladder and bowel problems, (7) decreasing numbness, or relieving one or more symptoms associated with MS.
The term “disease”, as used herein, means any disease or other deleterious condition in which Retinoic acid-related orphan nuclear receptor γt (RORγt)/RORγ is known to play a role. The term “disease” also means those diseases or conditions that are alleviated by treatment with (RORγt)/RORγ modulators.
The term “(RORγt)/RORγ activity-mediated condition” or “disease”, as used herein, means any disease or other deleterious condition in which (RORγt)/RORγ activity is known to play a role. The term “(RORγt)/RORγ activity-mediated condition” also means those diseases or conditions that are alleviated by treatment with a (RORγt)/RORγ inhibitor.
As used herein, “administer” or “administration” refers to the delivery of an inventive compound or of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or of a pharmaceutical composition containing an inventive compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof of this invention to an organism for the purpose of prevention or treatment of a (RORγt)/RORγ related disorder.
Suitable routes of administration may include, without limitation, oral, rectal, transmucosal or intestinal administration or intramuscular, subcutaneous, intramedullary, intrathecal, direct intraventricular, intravenous, intravitreal, intraperitoneal, intranasal, or intraocular injections. In certain embodiments, the preferred routes of administration are oral and intravenous.
Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be manufactured by processes well known in the art, e.g., by means of conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping or lyophilizing processes.
Pharmaceutical compositions for use in accordance with the present invention may be formulated in any conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers comprising excipients and auxiliaries which facilitate processing of the active compounds into preparations which can be used pharmaceutically. Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen.
For injection, the compounds of the invention may be formulated in aqueous solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hanks' solution, Ringer's solution, or physiological saline buffer. For transmucosal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art.
For oral administration, the compounds can be formulated by combining the active compounds with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers well known in the art. Such carriers enable the compounds of the invention to be formulated as tablets, pills, lozenges, dragees, capsules, liquids, gels, syrups, slurries, suspensions and the like, for oral ingestion by a patient. Pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be made using a solid excipient, optionally grinding the resulting mixture, and processing the mixture of granules, after adding other suitable auxiliaries if desired, to obtain tablets or dragee cores. Useful excipients are, in particular, fillers such as sugars, including lactose, sucrose, mannitol, or sorbitol, cellulose preparations such as, for example, maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch and potato starch and other materials such as gelatin, gum tragacanth, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and/or polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP). If desired, disintegrating agents may be added, such as cross-linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid. A salt such as sodium alginate may also be used.
Dragee cores are provided with suitable coatings. For this purpose, concentrated sugar solutions may be used which may optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, carbopol gel, polyethylene glycol, and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions, and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. Dyestuffs or pigments may be added to the tablets or dragee coatings for identification or to characterize different combinations of active compound doses.
Pharmaceutical compositions which can be used orally include push-fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. The push-fit capsules can contain the active ingredients in admixture with filler such as lactose, a binder such as starch, and/or a lubricant such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active compounds may be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols. Stabilizers may be added in these formulations, also. Pharmaceutical compositions which may also be used include hard gelatin capsules. The capsules or pills may be packaged into brown glass or plastic bottles to protect the active compound from light. The containers containing the active compound capsule formulation are preferably stored at controlled room temperature (15-30° C.).
For administration by inhalation, the compounds for use according to the present invention may be conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray using a pressurized pack or a nebulizer and a suitable propellant, e.g., without limitation, dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetra-fluoroethane or carbon dioxide. In the case of a pressurized aerosol, the dosage unit may be controlled by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Capsules and cartridges of, for example, gelatin for use in an inhaler or insufflator may be formulated containing a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch.
The compounds may also be formulated for parenteral administration, e.g., by bolus injection or continuous infusion. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit dosage form, e.g., in ampoules or in multi-dose containers, with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulating materials such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents.
Pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration include aqueous solutions of a water soluble form, such as, without limitation, a salt, of the active compound. Additionally, suspensions of the active compounds may be prepared in a lipophilic vehicle. Suitable lipophilic vehicles include fatty oils such as sesame oil, synthetic fatty acid esters such as ethyl oleate and triglycerides, or materials such as liposomes. Aqueous injection suspensions may contain substances which increase the viscosity of the suspension, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol, or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain suitable stabilizers and/or agents that increase the solubility of the compounds to allow for the preparation of highly concentrated solutions.
Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form for constitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile, pyrogen-free water, before use.
The compounds may also be formulated in rectal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, using, e.g., conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides.
In addition to the formulations described previously, the compounds may also be formulated as depot preparations. Such long acting formulations may be administered by implantation (for example, subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. A compound of this invention may be formulated for this route of administration with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for instance, in an emulsion with a pharmacologically acceptable oil), with ion exchange resins, or as a sparingly soluble derivative such as, without limitation, a sparingly soluble salt.
A non-limiting example of a pharmaceutical carrier for the hydrophobic compounds of the invention is a cosolvent system comprising benzyl alcohol, a nonpolar surfactant, a water-miscible organic polymer and an aqueous phase such as the VPD cosolvent system. VPD is a solution of 3% w/v benzyl alcohol, 8% w/v of the nonpolar surfactant polysorbate 80, and 65% w/v polyethylene glycol 300, made up to volume in absolute ethanol. The VPD cosolvent system (VPD: D5W) consists of VPD diluted 1:1 with a 5% dextrose in water solution. This cosolvent system dissolves hydrophobic compounds well, and itself produces low toxicity upon systemic administration. Naturally, the proportions of such a cosolvent system may be varied considerably without destroying its solubility and toxicity characteristics. Furthermore, the identity of the cosolvent components may be varied: for example, other low-toxicity nonpolar surfactants may be used instead of polysorbate 80, the fraction size of polyethylene glycol may be varied, other biocompatible polymers may replace polyethylene glycol, e.g., polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and other sugars or polysaccharides may substitute for dextrose.
Alternatively, other delivery systems for hydrophobic pharmaceutical compounds may be employed. Liposomes and emulsions are well known examples of delivery vehicles or carriers for hydrophobic drugs. In addition, certain organic solvents such as dimethylsulfoxide also may be employed, although often at the cost of greater toxicity.
Additionally, the compounds may be delivered using a sustained-release system, such as semipermeable matrices of solid hydrophobic polymers containing the therapeutic agent. Various sustained-release materials have been established and are well known by those skilled in the art. Sustained-release capsules may, depending on their chemical nature, release the compounds for a few weeks up to over 100 days. Depending on the chemical nature and the biological stability of the therapeutic reagent, additional strategies for protein stabilization may be employed.
The pharmaceutical compositions herein also may comprise suitable solid or gel phase carriers or excipients. Examples of such carriers or excipients include, but are not limited to, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, various sugars, starches, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, and polymers such as polyethylene glycols.
Many of the (RORγt)/RORγ modulating compounds of the invention may be provided as physiologically acceptable salts wherein the claimed compound may form the negatively or the positively charged species. Examples of salts in which the compound forms the positively charged moiety include, without limitation, quaternary ammonium (defined elsewhere herein), salts such as the hydrochloride, sulfate, carbonate, lactate, tartrate, malate, maleate, succinate wherein the nitrogen atom of the quaternary ammonium group is a nitrogen of the selected compound of this invention which has reacted with the appropriate acid. Salts in which a compound of this invention forms the negatively charged species include, without limitation, the sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium salts formed by the reaction of a carboxylic acid group in the compound with an appropriate base (e.g. sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), etc).
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for use in the present invention include compositions wherein the active ingredients are contained in an amount sufficient to achieve the intended purpose, e.g., the modulation of protein kinase activity and/or the treatment or prevention of a protein kinase-related disorder.
More specifically, a therapeutically effective amount means an amount of compound effective to prevent, alleviate or ameliorate symptoms of disease or prolong the survival of the subject being treated.
Determination of a therapeutically effective amount is well within the capability of those skilled in the art, especially in light of the detailed disclosure provided herein.
For any compound used in the methods of the invention, the therapeutically effective amount or dose can be estimated initially from cell culture assays. Then, the dosage can be formulated for use in animal models so as to achieve a circulating concentration range that includes the IC50 as determined in cell culture (i.e., the concentration of the test compound which achieves a half-maximal inhibition of the (RORγt)/RORγ, or surrogate marker activity). Such information can then be used to more accurately determine useful doses in humans.
Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of the compounds described herein can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., by determining the IC50 and the LD50 (both of which are discussed elsewhere herein) for a subject compound. The data obtained from these cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating a range of dosage for use in humans. The dosage may vary depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized. The exact formulation, route of administration and dosage can be chosen by the individual physician in view of the patient's condition. (See, e.g., G
Dosage amount and interval may be adjusted individually to provide plasma levels of the active species which are sufficient to maintain the kinase modulating effects. These plasma levels are referred to as minimal effective concentrations (MECs). The MEC will vary for each compound but can be estimated from in vitro data, e.g., the concentration necessary to achieve 50-90% inhibition of (RORγt)/RORγ, or surrogate marker may be ascertained using the assays described herein. Dosages necessary to achieve the MEC will depend on individual characteristics and route of administration. HPLC assays or bioassays can be used to determine plasma concentrations.
Dosage intervals can also be determined using MEC value. Compounds should be administered using a regimen that maintains plasma levels above the MEC for 10-90% of the time, preferably between 30-90% and most preferably between 50-90%.
At present, the therapeutically effective amounts of compounds of the present invention may range from approximately 2.5 mg/m2 to 1500 mg/m2 per day. Additional illustrative amounts range from 0.2-1000 mg/qid, 2-500 mg/qid, and 20-250 mg/qid.
In cases of local administration or selective uptake, the effective local concentration of the drug may not be related to plasma concentration, and other procedures known in the art may be employed to determine the correct dosage amount and interval.
The amount of a composition administered will, of course, be dependent on the subject being treated, the severity of the affliction, the manner of administration, the judgment of the prescribing physician, etc.
The compositions may, if desired, be presented in a pack or dispenser device, such as an FDA approved kit, which may contain one or more unit dosage forms containing the active ingredient. The pack may for example comprise metal or plastic foil, such as a blister pack. The pack or dispenser device may be accompanied by instructions for administration. The pack or dispenser may also be accompanied by a notice associated with the container in a form prescribed by a governmental agency regulating the manufacture, use or sale of pharmaceuticals, which notice is reflective of approval by the agency of the form of the compositions or of human or veterinary administration. Such notice, for example, may be of the labeling approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for prescription drugs or of an approved product insert. Compositions comprising a compound of the invention formulated in a compatible pharmaceutical carrier may also be prepared, placed in an appropriate container, and labeled for treatment of an indicated condition. Suitable conditions indicated on the label may include treatment of a tumor, inhibition of angiogenesis, treatment of fibrosis, diabetes, and the like.
As mentioned above, the compounds and compositions of the invention will find utility in a broad range of diseases and conditions mediated by protein kinases, including diseases and conditions mediated by (RORγt)/RORγ activity. Such diseases may include by way of example and not limitation, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Inflammatory Colitis, Psoriasis, COPD, Pain, Obesity, Diabetes, Dyslipidemia, Osteoporosis, Asthma, Neurodegenerative diseases and Cancer.
The invention will be further understood upon consideration of the following non-limiting Examples. In other aspects or embodiments include any of the compounds in TABLE 1A and 1B that fall with in the scope of any of the embodiments described above of the compounds of Formula I or pharmaceuticals acceptable salts thereof.

The compounds of Formula I provided in TABLE 1A & 1B were designed using a crystal structures of RORγt. Nuclear hormone receptor superfamily RORα/γ contains a signature type II zinc finger DNA binding motif and a ligand binding hydrophobic pocket. Three subtypes; RORα, -β, and -γ (NR1F1-3 or RORA-C), have been identified with unique tissue distributions and biological function. In the thymus, RORα and two isoforms, γ1 and γ2 (RORγt/ROR-γT), have been identified with RORγt distinct from the RORγ1 isoform in that it lacks the amino terminus of RORγ1. A sequence of ROR-γt (NP_001001523, 1-497) search with in the rcsb.org provided the 6 homologues X-ray crystal structure templates and 3BOW is selected for FFDD strategy lead to the discovery of substituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one containing RORγ antagonists depicted in
RORγ-LBD contains a 6-His and GST tag peptide from SRC1-2 an aminoterminal biotinyl-CPSSHSSLTERHKILHRLLQEGSPS was employed and the 6-His-(GST) RORγ-LBD was used which expressed and purified from baculovirus infected Sf-21 insect cells from Invitrogen and purified using glutathione sepharose. The assay protocol included 50 μL of TR-FRET buffer 50 mM KCl, 50 mM TRIS, 1 mM Na-EDTA, 0.1 mM DTT, (pH 7.0); 10 nM of 6-His(GST)RORgamma-LBD, 1 nM Anti-6-His-Eu, 0.1 μM of SRC1_2 peptide and Strep-APC 10 nM. The peptide binding due to dose-curves of compounds was added the 0.1% DMSO. Fluorescence at wavelength 340 nm was read in each well of 94 well plates using an Envision fluorescence reader in Time Resolved mode after overnight incubation at 4° C. Dose-response data and IC50 values are provided in the TABLE 3.
Antagonistic (or inverse agonistic) effects of the test compounds on the RORγt-activated IL-17A Prom/LUCPorter™ HEK 293 cells were analyzed and IC50 of each compound was evaluated. The IL-17A Prom/LUCPorter™ HEK 293 cell line (IMGENEX, IML-301) was plated in 96-well white plates at 0.75×105 cells per well for overnight. Cells were transfected with the RORγt plasmid (IMGENEX, IMP-122) for 6 h. Cells were treated with a series of 8 point concentrations of each compound (100, 33.33, 11.11, 3.70, 1.23, 0.41, 0.14 and 0.0457 μM) for 16 h. Luciferase activity was analyzed using the luciferase reporter assay reagent (IMGENEX, LS100). The data were analyzed using Excel and Prism software. Percent activity was defined as 100×(1−(Well−Control A)/(Control B−Control A)), where Control A was the wells containing cells transfected with RORγt and Control B was the wells containing non-transfected cells. Both Controls A and B were treated with vehicle alone.
IC50 evaluation of selected compound from the TABLE 1 on RORγt-mediated IL-17A promoter activity and its 10 dose-response curve is given in
The assay was designed to assess the potency of test compounds on IL-17 cytokine release from CD4+T cells. In order to aid in the identification of potent inhibitors, the IC50's determined for the test compounds IL-17 release from CD4+T cells through the generation of 10 point Dose Response Curves (DRC). Assay methods used to quantify IL-17 secretion is HTRF (Homogenous Time Resolved Fluorescence). IL-17 secreted is detected by anti-IL-17 MAb labeled with XL665, the second MAb labeled with Cryptate, which binds to specific epitopes of human IL-17. Upon close proximity of both acceptor and donor energy transfer (FRET) occurs. This technique has been further enhanced by using long-lived labels combined with the detection on a time-resolved fluorescence basis, allowing maximization of prompt fluorescence interferences.
The assay was performed according to manufacturer's instruction. All the reagents were reconstituted according to instructions provided. The reagents were dispensed into a half area 96-well plate in the following order: 10 μL standard or sample, IL-17 MAbXL665 and 5 μL IL-17 Cryptate. For the negative control, the standard or sample is replaced by 10 μL of diluent. The plate is covered with a plate sealer and incubated at rt for 2 h. Following incubation, the plate sealer is removed and the plate is read using HTRF protocol on Envision Microplate reader. All of the data analysis was carried out using Microsoft Excel (2010) and IC50 was determined using GraphPad Prism 4 software. % Inhibition of the test compounds were determined utilizing the following formula:
% Inhibition=100−(100*(Average Test Compound Counts−Average Negative Control Counts)/(Average Positive Control Counts−Average Negative Control Counts)).
Dose-response data and IC50 values are provided in the TABLE 3.

Efficacy of substituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one containing selected compounds on Inhibition of Anti-CD3e Antibody induced CD4+T cell Cytokine-IL-17 Production in Male BALB/c Mice
In Vivo Mice Cytokine IL-17 by ELISA Method:
A quantitative analysis of mouse IL-17 sandwich ELISA was conducted from the collected serum samples (Mouse IL-17 ELISA Ready-DuoSet ELISA kit, from R&D Systems, USA). The serum samples tested were collected from mice after 1.5 h of anti-CD3e antibody challenge, before antibody challenge, the mice were treated with different doses of test compounds or Dexamethasone as mentioned above in experimental design. The capture antibody was diluted in coating buffer (1×PBS) and transferred into each well. The plate was sealed and incubated overnight at RT. The following day the wells of the plate were aspirated and washed (3 times), allowing a one minute soak time in each step. The plate was blocked using 1% BSA in PBS, sealed, and incubated in ambient conditions for not less than one hour. After the incubation period, the plate was washed as described above, and the standards and serum samples were added to the appropriate wells and incubated for two hours at RT. The samples were diluted in a 1:10 ratio with 1% BSA in PBS (reagent diluent). After two hours, well were washed as mentioned above three times and added the detection antibody and incubated for two hours. After washing (as mentioned above), the HRP enzyme is added and incubated for 20 min and washed again and added substrate according to the manufacturer's instructions and incubated for 30 min/until blue color develops. The plate was read at 450/570 nm using the Microplate Absorbance Reader (SpectraMax; M3). Statistics: One-Way ANOVA was performed followed by Dunnett's multiple comparison test. Percent inhibition of cytokine production was calculated for all groups compared to positive control.
IL-17 Production:
Intravenous administration of 5 ug/animal anti-CD3e antibody to each mice resulted in significant elevation of IL-17 production at 1.5 h time point compared to negative control group. Oral administration of test compounds 10 mg/kg, 20 mins prior to antibody administration resulted in 50% respectively. Dexamethasone treatment showed 94%, respectively, reduction in IL-17 production when compared to positive control group. Data is shown in
The bio-availability and pharmacokinetics of some compounds of the present invention were examined in male Sprague Dawley rats. A total of 6 male rats were used in the study. The study was performed using parallel design (n=3) with serial sampling.
Dose formulations were prepared on the day of doing. Blood samples were collected at 0.083 (only IV), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 24 h post-dose. At each time point, approximately 0.2 mL of blood was withdrawn from each cannulated rat through jugular vein and transferred to a pre-labeled microfuge tube containing 20 μL of 200 mm K2EDTA per mL of blood. Following collection of blood sample, equal volume of heparinized saline was flushed into jugular vein of rat. The blood samples were centrifuged at 5000 g for 5 min at 4±2° C. The plasma was separated within 30 min of scheduled time and stored below −60° C. until bio-analysis. The plasma samples were analyzed for selected test EXAMPLES using a fixed-for purpose liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric detection (LC-MS/MS) method with a lower limit of quantification of 2.21 ng/mL. The pharmacokinetic parameters for select EXAMPLES were calculated using the non-compartmental analysis tool of validated WinNonlin® software (Version 5.2).
Pharmacokinetic parameters (mean±SD; n=3) of 7 following intravenous bolus and oral gavage administration of 7 solution in male Sprague Dawley rats are shown in TABLE 4 below:
